There is Chaos In Neigh
borhood of St. Louis
DESTRUCTION'S EXTENT
Is Yet Only a Matter of Conjecture but (
Conditions Indicate That Loss or
Life and Property Will Be Great.
St. Louis, June 8. So great an extent
of territory Is covered by the flood, so
constantly changing are the conditions
as the water creeps higher and renders
the situation the more chaotic, and so
unreliable are the various rumors of
the devastation that a substantiated
summary of the losses of life and prop
erty cannot be obtained, but up to. 8
o'clock tonight information from ap
parently the most reliable sources
showed the situation to be as follows:
River stage, 37.5 feet, stationary.
Twenty lives known to have been lost.
More than 200,000 acres of rich farm
ing lands under water.
All of Venice arid the greater parts
of Madison and Granite City under wa
ter. Twenty-five thousand people rendered
homeless.
Freight t raffle completely paralyzed
and passenger traffic practically stop
ped. The shipping and manufacturing dis
trict of East St. Louis for three miles
along the river front is under from
three to eight feet of water.
Hundreds and probably thousands of
head of stock drowned.
East St. Louis threatened with com
plete inundation.
St. Louis flooded only along the water
front.
Entire property loss estimated at $3.
000,000. River thieves are looting the various
vacant houses in Venice, Madison and
Granite City and carrying away every
thing of value they can find.
Throughout the entire flooded district
men with riot guns are patrolling the
levees to prevent pillaging and anxious
to try their marksmanship upon some
possible river thieves caught in the act,
but the thives have pillaged houses sit
uated far from the levees, where they
are safe from detection.
Word was ieceived here at 1 o'clock
this morning that the levee near Madi
son, on which gangs of men were work
ing, gave way, and that fifteen men,
employes of the American Car & Foun
dry works, lost their , lives. About 150
men were reported imprisoned on -a sec

A "WHISKERS" DATE LINE
Which Grew to Luxuriance in "Twenty-foar
Hoars."
The Phoenix Eenterprlse, which ad
vertises to "publish news twenty-four
hours ahead of other Phoenix papirs."
ma.de yesterday afternoon what is
known in theological writings as a.
mlscue and published some news twenty-four
hours after it had been rejeiv
ed by freight unaccompanied by .'ce, a
most dangerous proceeding at th; t ea
son of the year. It purported to bo .1
telegram from Bisbee descriptive of the
ordering of the 'Arizona Rangei t i
Clifton and Morenci in anticipation of
trouble' on account of the strike follow
ing the going into effect of the einht
hour law. The same matter was pub
lished in the Bisbee Review of last Sat
urday couched In precisely the 'same
classical language In which it appeared
more than "twenty-four hours" later In
the Eenterprise. It was a local story in
the' Enterprise. It was a local story in
of a date line grew on it while it was
being shipped to Phoenix by fast
freight.
The authorities had desired to main
tain secrecy regarding the movement of
the rangers and had asked that nothing
be published regarding the order. The
story, however, got out without author
ization at Bisbee and Tucson.
The situation at Clifton and Moren l
and In the adjoining camps is said to be
very satisfactory. There are no signs
of an outbreak but It is true that the
rangers were sent to Bisbee. or somj of
them were. Just as they are sent about
through the territory to be on the
ground in the case of an emergency.

A FEAR OF GENEROSITY
The Only Obstacle in the Way of a
Kansas Legislative Session.
Topeka, Kans.. June S. It is regard
ed as practically certain that there will
be a special ression cf the Kansas
legislature m two weeks to relieve
some of the suffering caused by the
ilood of last week. If a siocial session
la called it will be fur the purpose of
building bridges washed away by the
f.ood.
Kansas City is especially interested
in th2 session because there were thir
teen Kansas river bridges washed out
in . that city. Eight bridges were
washed cut in Shawnee county, besides
the street railway bridge. The gover
nor is said to be opposed to calling a
special session for the purpose of mak
ing a general flood relief appropriation
for the reason that such action would
effectually prevent further contribu
tions toward the relief of the sufferers.
It - has been suggested that the
session should provide seed for the
farmers in the Kaw valley. These
farmers, if given potatoes immediately,
can raise a good crop yet this year.
The first line to get direct communi
cation between Topeka and the east
was the Santa Fe. Tonight the Santa
Fe got its St. Joseph line open. Begin
ning tomorrow morning it will com
mence making daily relief trips be
tween Topeka and Kansas City,

LEARNING THINGS.
We Are All in the Apprentice Class.
When a simple change of diet brings
back health and happiness the story is
briefly told. A lady, of Springfield, 111.,
says: "After being afflicted for years
with nervousness and heart trouble, I
received a shock four years ago that
left me In such a condition that my life
was despaired of. I could get no relief
from doctors, nor from the numberless
heart and nerve medicines I tried be
cause I didn't know that the coffee
was dally putting me back more than
the doctors were putting me ahead.
"Finally at the request of a friend I
left off coffee and began the use of
Postum and against my convictions I
gradually improved In health until for
the past six or eight months I have
been entirely free from nervousness
and those terrible sinking, weakening
spells of heart trouble.
"My troubles all came from the use
of coffee, which I had drunk from
childhood, and yet they disappeared
when I quit coffee and took up the use
of Postum." Names given by Postum
Co., Battle Creek. Mich.
Many people marvel at the effects of
leaving off coffee and drinking Postum,
but there is nothing marvelous about it
only common sense.
Coffee is a destroyer Postum Is a re
builder. That's the reason.

MILES' REPORT
Gen. Taft Believes It Is
Exaggerated
INSULAR CONDITIONS
Are Not All That Couid Be Desired
But He Believes the Philippine Gov
ernment Can Successfully Contend
With Them.
Washington. D. C June 8. The war
department today made public a rejort
received from General Taft. replying to
statements made by Lieutenant Gener
al Miles after his visit to the island
last year.
The report is dated Eenguet. April 1.
and says: "I cm in receipt by reference
from the chief of the bureau of insular
affairs and the adjutant general of the
army of an excerpt from the report of
the lieutenant general of ths rainy, re
lating" to the conditions of agricullurv
In the archielago. and the means vt
avoiding a probable famine, and in ac
cordance with the direction in the refr
ence I have the honor to make the fol
lowing comment:-
"That there is a shortage in th- Inl
ands of the usual food supply i. un
douotedly ;ruo. but I have been sur
prised to find thus far how little famine
or hunger there Is. I have not receiv
ed a single call from a sing!- provin
cial governor for rice for free distribu
tion In the entire archipelago. I"

worth.
The most seriouse feature of the sit
uation is the loss of the cattle from
rhinde:pest. It! is not feasible to brititc
cattle Into the islands without matins
sure that they will not catch the rhin
derpest after coming here and die fria
the disease. The fields of the island
are affected with rhinuerpst. so th.it
cattle from other islands brought h-r
are almost sure to have the dis
ease. It is necessary, tht-refcn-.
that all cattle brought here shall le im
mediately immunized, having a srum
injected into their veins which will ren
der them immune for three or four
months, and at the same time bvins
inoculated with the rhit.dorpesl. wr.i h
renders them immune at least for five
years, and probably longer."
General Taft concludes as follows; -I
think, generally, the statement of facts
in the report of the lieutenanj general
is correct, so far, at least, as the dread
ful depression In agriculture by reason
of the Ioes of the cattle is concerned.
The remedy which he suggests by tho
use of the government transports, how
ever, I do not concur In. The Udngrr
from famine has not been as significant
as I supposed it was. In any event,
with the funds provided by congra
now, I feel confident that the Philip
pine government is in a position to meet
any emergency of this kind which may
arise."
